What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

I just want to see them at night installed regardless of year. I'd like to see how intense the led's are plz.

Where at in Florida? Link please!

 

Wrapped my 5th gen 4Runner trail edition wheels in Falken Wildpeaks!!!

 

yup!

 

$180 cheap?

 

Naw, was still $250 for me due to the shipping, but better than 4 bills.
The shipping was $70 to Hawaii. Probably cheaper to your door than mine.

 

I bought it from Daytona Toyota: https://parts.daytonatoyota.com/
Make sure you input your truck info to make sure the grille and color is going to match your truck. The painted grille was $180, but shipping to Hawaii drove it up for me.

I was a little concerned about the blue color since it just says "dark blue", but as long as you put in your Tacoma year, the part number that's pulled up will be specific to the dark blue (or whatever color you have) for that year. Blue Ribbon was only on the 2014 and 2015, vs the Nautical Blue on other years.

Edit: Also the grille itself is found at Cali Raised's website:

Bought it from the group buy a little while back.

 

Didn't see you are in Hawaii before

 

Excuse my ignorance on this, but I haven't seen this in Hawaii before. Do you carry the cooler on the go and is this just a means for extra space? The rod holders are used when parked at the beach?

 

Satan mod. Thanks to member 30birdy.

X2!

 

This keeps more bed space free, and to not have to keep dragging the cooler out keeping the bed from getting extremely Sandy between trips. You can fish off the two rocket launcher, but it's mostly for wuick transport. I have ski racks up top for more storage.

This is my buddies rack and cooler we out on my truck for a trip.

 

Been a busy week... 100k mile maintenance, much needed LCA bushing rebuild, new wheels and tires, and some Rago ditch light brackets w/ Baja Squadron Sports. LCAs were a PITA to remove and sleeves had to be cut out, lower strut bolts were frozen and had to be hammered out (destroying the strut bushing, yaahh for new 5100s overnighted from Amazon), pressed the bushings out using the redneck bottle jack/torch method, broke my bench vice trying to press the new ones in (ended up having to have a shop press the new bushings in, disassemble my old 5100s/886s and reassemble, and press in new LBJs), installed Total Chaos LCA Cam Tabs, installed my CMC, reassembled everything else, and put my new wheels and tires on (TRD Beadlock Style Wheels, PTR1835090-BLK with Cooper ST MAXX 285/75/16 tires - note ended up needing to keep my BORA 3/4" wheel spacers installed to avoid rubbing on my UCAs). Flushed the auto trans. Got it all aligned yesterday, follow up appointment on Monday once it all settles in. What a difference in drive, looks, and reliability. Was a ton of work and didn't go as smoothly as expected, but in the end, way more satisfying than paying someone $$$$ to do the work for me.

Those tires look so much better in person. Pictures really dont show them right. I have the same tires!

 

That's awesome. Did they sell patch @ visitor centers or is online you got them?

 

Oil change, air filter, and a shower a few miles shy of 200K.
